Hope you are feeling better :-) I'll add the timings back: Fedora 13 Linux Windows 7 --------------- --------- Open (empty) writer screen 4.7 < 2 Load doc originally 30.9 3.1 Save doc 3.9 4.2 Update TOC 154.1 < 2 Send final page of doc to printer 29.8 2.8 Export .pdf file gave up* 29.5 This might be of interest: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Performance http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Performance/Startup#Issues quite dated, but might be informative. It could also simply be a case of fonts... for instance I have several hundred fonts in my linux (Ubuntu 10.4) linux system, but only the primary base fonts on my Win7 test system. The difference between startup times between the two are considerable. But if I try the same on comparable systems (same system w/a testlinux on one partition & Win7 on the other) the startup times are somewhat similar. Also, the startup on Win7 looks a little suspect. The <2 sec looks to me as if OOo has been closed and reopened within the 15 minute memory timeout. For example, I can obtain the same on my linux systems if I close OOo and then reopen. Not saying your timings aren't accurate, just throwing in a few 'possible' variables to consider. You might want to test also with 3.2.1: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.2/ http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.2/#general_speed Perhaps if we can find an appropriate large 'test' document (perhaps this one with a master doc & 542 pages (spread amonst the various chapters) & compare we might be able to do a comparative test. Unfortunately I no longer have standard OOo 3.2.0 installed & only have 3.2.1. I can test on the laptop with a clean Ubuntu 10.04.1 (and no additional fonts) and Win7 (again with no addional fonts) on the other partition. Extract the zip file to a single folder & open via the 0200WG3WriterGuideOOo3.odm file.
